Uncle Ho's corner in every school
Entering Phu Hoa 3 Primary School in Thu Dau Mot City, right in the main hall, a small corner decorated with bamboo and rustic wood attracts all eyes. That is the "Uncle Ho's cultural space", where students learn about the great leader of the nation.
With familiar items such as rubber sandals, cloth pith helmets, along with vivid images and documents about Uncle Ho, this small corner is like a miniature museum, helping children visualize more clearly about Uncle Ho's life and career. Stories about Uncle Ho told to children in a warm, familiar voice have aroused in the children's hearts a deep love for Uncle Ho.
The idea of building "Uncle Ho's cultural space" came from the desire of Ms. Le Thi Kim Thuy, the school's principal, when she saw that the students were very curious and wanted to learn about Uncle Ho. Ms. Thuy took advantage of recycled materials, with the cooperation of teachers, parents and students to create a space that was both meaningful and economical.
Ms. Thuy said: "I really want all students to experience the content, images, objects, and history of Uncle Ho at school, so I came up with the idea of building a cultural space for Uncle Ho. Talking about Uncle Ho is very broad, so we have to build content and knowledge that is closest to the students. The school met together, built, and came up with a plan, specific content that is close to the students and some lessons related to Uncle Ho. From there, we chose a topic for the students to absorb and easily understand about Uncle Ho."
Located right in front of the main hall of Ly Thuong Kiet Primary School, in Di An City, "Uncle Ho's cultural space" is like a sacred land about Uncle Ho, attracting students, teachers and parents to visit every day.
With vivid models such as Nha Rong port, Uncle Ho's stilt house, or Pac Po cave, children seem to return to the heroic historical years, joining Uncle Ho in finding a way to save the country. In particular, the flagpole simulating Ba Dinh Square is solemnly placed on a bookcase designed in the shape of a five-petal flower with the meaning that Uncle Ho's declaration of independence will forever resonate to five continents.
Mr. Trieu Quoc Thanh, Principal of the school, shared: "We hope this space will become a place to nurture love for the country and gratitude towards Uncle Ho in each generation of students."
"Following the direction of the Di An City Party Committee, Ly Thuong Kiet Primary School also tries to thoroughly implement the study and follow of Ho Chi Minh's moral ideology in the school in a practical way through models, images, documentary films, books and newspapers to create closeness. From there, teachers and staff can improve their ethics and manners every day and all students can experience, visit and practice ethics in the best and most familiar way," Mr. Thanh added.
Studying and following Uncle Ho since school
To widely spread the noble values from "Uncle Ho's cultural space", Phu Hoa Primary School and Ly Thuong Kiet Primary School have created conditions for all students to visit and learn meaningful history lessons right in this space.
Through historical artifacts and stories about Uncle Ho, dry history lessons become more vivid and understandable than ever. Students not only learn about Uncle Ho's life and great career, but also deeply feel his modesty and simplicity. Those values gradually penetrate deep into their souls, contributing to the formation of generations of patriotic and grateful citizens.
Nguyen Thao Nguyen, a student at Phu Hoa 3 Primary School, and Vu Bao Ngoc, a student at Ly Thuong Kiet Primary School, shared: "I often read about Uncle Ho's life and revolution. I like the way he traveled around the world to learn and help the country the most." "Uncle Ho lived a very happy life, loved his compatriots, loved children... he was a very great person in the life of the nation. We will try to study hard to not let down Uncle Ho who left to find a way to save the country so that we can have the life we have today."
The models of Phu Hoa 3 Primary School and Ly Thuong Kiet Primary School have been highly appreciated and honored by the Thu Dau Mot City Party Committee, Di An City Party Committee and the Departmentof Education and Training of Binh Duong province. The effective initiatives of the two schools have contributed to widely spreading the beautiful image of studying and following Ho Chi Minh's ideology, morality and style.
To replicate these successful models, the Department of Education and Training of Binh Duong province has encouraged primary schools in the area to research and build Uncle Ho corners suitable to the conditions and characteristics of each school. It is expected that by the end of the 2024-2025 school year, all schools will have Uncle Ho corners and Uncle Ho cultural spaces.
Ms. Nguyen Thi Kim Tuyet, Head of the Preschool - Primary Education Department of the Department of Education and Training of Binh Duong province said: Building Uncle Ho's cultural space does not stop at creating a small, solemn corner for competition, but also needs to become a regular, creative activity, closely linked to the school's educational activities.
"In that space, instead of displaying it beautifully, the primary school block requires integrating it with the bookcase, reading activities of the library, and telling stories about Uncle Ho with age-appropriate content. We must propagate to the children to love, be interested in, and want to learn, and have the need to learn about Uncle Ho. From there, we can help them love and respect Uncle Ho, so that when they grow up, they will know how to study and follow the style and morality of Ho Chi Minh," Ms. Tuyet shared.
It can be seen that the construction of "Uncle Ho's cultural space" in primary schools in Binh Duong is a practical action to educate the young generation about the tradition of patriotism. This is not only a small corner in the school but also a small seed sown in the soul of each student. That seed grows, bears fruit, contributing to building a rich, civilized country, standing shoulder to shoulder with the great powers as Uncle Ho taught.
